Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The economy was significantly better under Biden, who started his term with a global shutdown. Inflation was brought back to normal levels, job creation was higher than under Trump and the US had a decently strong economy in comparison to other countries.
You didn't forget, you're dishonest. Either a MAGA troll or a useful idiot for MAGA.
Both can be true. Biden was improving the economy in places, but many people did not feel the recovery.
Shitlib, not everyone that doesn't worship your version of neoliberalism is a Trump supporter. I'm a fucking Marxist.
Biden's economy continued the path of the US since the 1990s - stagnant wages, so most growth goes to the rich in a K shaped economy. The gains the workers saw were quickly rolled back in the name of "curbing inflation", which of course fell on the working class, not asset holders.
You want to play statistic games like you are, we can talk about how child overtly doubled under Biden after he chose to let the child tax credit expire.
Or we can skip it - because 2024 already gave a verdict on this. For years Bidenonmics tried the "no, the shit you're eating is good actually", and that's why you have Trump again.
